Analysis and evaluation of possibilities for the use of warm mix asphalt in Lithuania

Abstract

Production of hot mix asphalt (HMA) requires a lot of consumption of energy, exhaustion of CO2 and other environment unfriendly materials. The fumes of HMA are injurious for roadmen and asphalt plant workers. The use of warm mix asphalt (WMA) allows reducing the HMA production temperatures at which the material is mixed and laid on the road. WMA helps to reduce the working temperature of asphalt up to 30
